Jeez the years are flying past, I would have put it at 7-8 years ago tops.
Aye, doesn't seem that long ago does it.
Thought this was very moving when I watched it:

I still listen to The Skids as well. Can't believe it's 17 years.

The sad irony is that ‘In A big Country’ is (I believe) about dealing with depression and in the end he couldn’t deal with his.

Drink and depression can get hold of us all, seen both the Skids and Big Country back in his heyday both fantastic live

Thought they were both shite TBH.
But hey-ho - we're all entitled to pour opinions.
Shite or not mate. Stuart was a canny lad.

Weirdly, just a few months before he killed himself there, I stayed in that same hotel in Honolulu. Its on an industrial estate next to the airport - as depressing a place as you can get in Hawaii.
Interesting.
